Frequently Asked Questions About Windows 2000 DNS [Q291382] Question: Do I need to configure forwarders in DNS? Answer: No. By default, Windows 2000 DNS uses the root hint servers on the Internet; however, you can configure forwarders to send DNS queries directly to your ISP's DNS server or other DNS servers. In most cases, when you configure forwarders, DNS performance and efficiency increases, but this configuration can also introduce a point of failure if the forwarding DNS server is experiencing problems. The root hint server can provide a level of redundancy in exchange for slightly increased DNS traffic on your Internet connection.

Do not forward internal for name resolutions to external, if the external one dies , your name resolution for external sites dies with it. -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 20 February 2002 4:04 a.m. To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: DNS Inside and Outside I'm sure this has probably been discussed before but I have Internal DNS and External DNS. I either need to have External update Internal or host 2 sets of DNS Servers.... Does Microsoft have any recommendations for this or would I be better off just hosting 2 sets?
